It's a positive displacement pump with no means of regulating flow. It puts out the same flow if your at idle in traffic or bombing down the front straight of your favorite track. There is a pressure regulator after the pump that unloads fuel back to the tank to maintain pressure in the system, but that doesn't effect the flow rate within the pump and thus the inlet filter. The fact that most of Robi's driving has been at a great rate of speed means that his pump has been running a lot less then someone who has driven the same amount of miles but in city traffic. I'd really like to see how many hours his car has ran, but most people don't log that.
